Life's Designs

A new era has dawned. One in which our designs are conducive to life. One in which we will explore what we can learn from nature rather than how much we can extract from her. After 3.8 billion years, life has learned what works, what lasts, and what is appropriate. This track will explore how to apply the natural genius that surrounds us to human designs. Given the multidisciplinary scope of designing with nature and its applications in virtually every discipline, cross over with other tracks/themes can be expected and should be capitalized upon.
